A new team has emerged in the A.J. Brown trade talks.
A new playoff team has entered the A.J. Brown trade sweepstakes.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Chargers are interested in trading for the Philadelphia Eagles star.
Brown had 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He and QB Jalen Hurts weren't on the same page.
Philadelphia is looking for a first-round pick for Brown, who doesn't have a no-trade clause. The Chargers have one of the top QBs in the league in Justin Herbert.
Los Angeles hasn't won a playoff game in the Herbert era. Herbert has 24,820 passing yards and 163 passing touchdowns in the NFL.
During the Eagles' wild-card round loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Nick Sirianni and Brown got into a heated sideline exchange. Philadelphia lost to San Francisco by a final score of 23-19. Brown had two drops, tying a career high, and declined to speak to the media postgame.
Brown finished the Eagles-49ers game with three catches for 25 yards on seven targets. Philadelphia fans booed him after his second drop in the fourth quarter.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Brown has been with the Eagles since 2022. He has 339 receptions for 5,034 yards and 32 touchdowns in a Philadelphia uniform.
The Eagles would absorb a dead cap hit of over $40 million if they dealt Brown before June 1, compared with less than $20 million in dead cap if a trade is consummated after that date.
The team acquiring Brown would be responsible for his $29 million salary in 2026 and around $4 million in guaranteed money in 2027, per ESPN.
Brown has 8,029 receiving yards and 56 touchdowns in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans and Eagles. It will be fascinating to see where he's playing next season.
Since New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel coached Brown in Tennessee, the Patriots have been heavily linked to Brown.
